Plasmidsaurus Lab Automation Meetup

​Plasmidsaurus is hosting an evening for people working in lab automation, in collaboration with Bay Area Lab Automators — a community of scientists, engineers, and tinkerers operating at the intersection of hardware, software, and lab innovation. The event is open to anyone who has built, shipped, debugged, or scaled automation systems, as well as those interested in learning from others in the space.

​⚡ What to Expect

​Lightning talks to spark conversation, time with other builders, and plenty of space to share what you’re working on over drinks and small bites.

​We’ve got 3 open lightning talk slots - 10 minutes each, no slides, just a mic. You can apply to give a lightning talk when you register.

​We’ll also have a small batch of dino-themed merch available — first come, first served.

🦖 About Plasmidsaurus

​Plasmidsaurus is on a mission to accelerate science with sequencing. Our sequencing services span whole plasmid, transcriptome, amplicon, whole genome, AAV, microbiome, and more. We process samples daily from thousands of innovators — from Nobel Prize winners and biotech startups to pharma teams, academic labs and DIY biohackers.

​Our global network of labs operates day and night to enable world-changing discoveries. Behind the scenes, delivering this level of speed and scale depends heavily on our fleet of 150+ Opentrons liquid handling robots and other automated lab instruments.

As a company, we’re known for our dino-themed culture 🦕, collaborative energy, and mission-driven focus on making sequencing fast, affordable, and scientist-friendly. We’re growing quickly in early 2026 and love meeting people who want to build ambitious systems in a fun, high-ownership environment.
